The eggs are where?

A little bit of an update before I get into the egg issue:

We now have 6 chickens, 0 ducks, and 4 quail.  We lost the duck to an unknown attacker a month ago.  We lost one chicken to an unknown attacker about 2 months ago, and we lost 2 quail about 2 weeks ago.  No idear what killed the quail..

So, the eggs:  A few days ago, I found where the chickens have been laying their eggs.  It is just on the edge of the brambles by the porch.  This is good because they are not getting on the porch as much.  Its bad, however, because its not in their house yet.  I found a little stash of about 30 eggs.  Its great because I now know they are laying...however, after picking them up, I don't know where they have moved their laying area to. 

So, tomorrow, I think I shall go on a chicken egg hunt...Maybe then we can get some yummy goodness that is fresh eggs.
